[English]

I see your sister in her Sunday dress

She's out to please, she pouts her best

She's out to take, no need to try

She's ready to make

It's so easy, easy

When everybody's tryin' to please me, baby

It's so easy, easy

When everybody's tryin' to please me

Cars are crashin' every night

I drink and drive, everything's in sight

I make the fire, but I miss the firefight

I hit the bull's eye every night

Now it's so easy, easy

When everybody's tryin' to please me, baby

Yeah, it's so easy, easy

When everybody's tryin' to please me

So easy

But nothin' seems to please me

It all fits so right

When I fade into the night

See me hit you, you fall down, huh

I see you standin' there

You think you're so cool

Why don't you just

Fuck off?

...

You get nothin' for nothin'

If that's what ya do

Turn around bitch, I got a use for you

Besides, you ain't got nothin' better to do

And I'm bored

It's so easy, easy

When everybody's tryin' to please me baby

It's so easy, easy

When everybody's tryin' to please me

So easy

But nothin' seems to please me

It all fits so right

When I fade into the night

So come with me

Don't ask me where 'cause I don't know

I'll try to please you

I ain't got no money, but it goes to show

It's so easy

So fuckin' easy

It's so easy

So damn easy

It's so easy

Oh, so fuckin' easy

It's so easy

Hell, so easy

It's so easy

So fuckin' easy

It's so easy

Yeah

...
